3. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.
4. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
5. The shank of the accessories used must properly
fit the Collet of the power tool. Accessories
with arbor holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
6. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear. If the power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
7. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop
apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
work piece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtering out particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
8. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of work
piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
9. Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
10. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
11. Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
12. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
13. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
14. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
15. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
16. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
17. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool,
and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
18. Use clamps (not included) or other practical
ways to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control and personal injury.
19. This product is not a toy. Keep
it out of reach of children.
20. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields
in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented – it
prevents sustained electrical shock.
21. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.
